How to Make Bacon Broccoli Cheese Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While pasta cooks, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon.
- Steam or blanch broccoli florets until tender-crisp. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, crumbled bacon, and broccoli.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese until melted and smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta mixture and stir until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- (Optional) Sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
